A Cheboygan man died Monday in an off-road vehicle accident.Michael Gray, 51, was pronounced dead at McLaren Cheboygan Campus after he lost control of his ORV on Douglas Road in Hebron Township. Michigan State Police from the Cheboygan Detachment responded to the scene and determined that Gray's ORV left the roadway and struck several trees outside of the shoulder area of the roadway. Gray was ejected from the ORV as it rolled. Troopers said Gray was not wearing a helmet, and that excessive speed was a contributing factor in the accident. Additional tests are pending for alcohol and drugs. Troopers were assisted at the scene by Cheboygan Life Support, the Inverness Fire Department First Responders and the Cheboygan County Victim's Unit.
